- PSA 10: no sales in the last 7 days, so the verdict uses the longer-run price of $223 from 15 sales, last on Oct 12.
- Older card: raw prices often include played copies, and PSA 10s are scarcer. Judge by the grade your copy can realistically reach.
No PSA 10, 9 or 8 sold in the last 7 days. PSA 10 last sold on Oct 12, PSA 9 last sold on Aug 30 and PSA 8 last sold on Sep 15.
PSA 10s are 33% of this card’s PSA 9 and 10 sales. Owners sell their best copies, so this is not your chance of a 10.
